Currently under production is 'Road to Nowhere' - a spin off of Phoenix Nights, which is widely regarded as his best TV work so far, and a modern classic.

Review of Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights

...and conversation about the hilarious Peter Kay in general has caused some annoyance amongst my friends I still love it! There are two series of Phoenix Nights and they follow the comical antics of the manipulative Brian Potter (Peter Kay) who is the owner of the Phoenix Club and the gullible, overdramatic but loveable Jerry 'The Saint' St.Clair (the hilarious Dave Spikey). As Brian and Jerry try to rebuild the club with the notion that "Clubland ...
...Max and Paddy played by Peter kay (Max) and Patrick McGuiness (Paddy). They are truly brilliant at portraying the bouncers in both the first and second series with the "Can you hear me now?" sketch and the ongoing "Baldy! Baldy bouncer!" joke. The other characters include Ray Von (Neil Fitzmaurice) the resident DJ who is believed to be a murderer; the constant liar Kenny Senior (Archie Kelly); the incompotent, tiger faced Young Kenny (Justin Moorhouse); ...

Review of Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights

...owner Brian Potter, played by Peter Kay. This was 1st part of another series called the Peter Kay experience, but the characters and theme must have been popular so he made an entire series about it. During the series Brian had an rival who owned a similar but perhaps superior club. The rivalry ended the 1st series as he burnt down the phoenix club, which put him out of business as he had no insurance and he had lost his licsence. He turned to his ...
...shame both this and the Peter Kay Experience have both finished. The last thing he was in was Linda Green and the John Smith's adverts, which were both funny, only because he was in it. He's funny because he says things how they are, he doesn't hold back. Poor Terry in Phoenix Night's was conned into helping him out in the 2nd series, because it was clear who was in charge, even though he owned the place. I would like to see it again, even though ...

Review of Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights

Shows are trying to compete with this orginal comedy for example the office. Although nothing compares to this, one of the funniest most amazing comedy series to be broadcast ever. I have purchased the box set at 10.99, from HMV online. Extras for series one & series two, totally ace. Suitable for over 15 years, this compelling comedy includes a classic first series:- It is really to introduce you to all the characters although this makes the ...
...(Peter Key) try to make a run down club something it really isn't. Not to putaside a racist folk band in his family club... a drunken horse, uncut and unseen footage, so if you saw it on the box you stillget to catch up on the deleted scences. The second series really gets you into the series. Its so funny, imagine a family fun day, with an inflatable penis bouncy castle, mixed with the ex singers from the club singing for adverts in asda. The ...

...club which is based in peter kay's home town in Bolton.The club is always struggling to get punters to come so it trys allsorts to attract more people. Peter Kay plays most characters like Brian Potter the manager, Max the bouncer,Keith Lard the fire safety officer and many more Brian Potter is a very fussy character he spends all his time in a wheel chair because of an accident he had in a past club called the neptune club. If anything goes wrong ...
...on a rampage after it gets drunk in his bar! As well as horses getting drunk in a bar the phoenix club has to compete with another club in the area called the Banana Grove run by Den Perry who will stop at nothing to make his club the best. This is one of the best programmes on tv and the spin-off of the second series is now on channel 4 called Max and Paddys Road To Nowhere. If you get a chance to watch it do i promise you wont regret it. ...

Review of Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights

Firstly, I'm a Yorkshireman so giving my support to this product was never going to be easy as the man comes from the wrong side!!!! However, Phoenix NIghts is the greatest british comedy of recent times. Buy this product now, get the DVD's you will not be wasting money. This DVD has the ability to go round and round in the player and you will never get bored of it - it's great. The timing of each scene is perfect, the details that are there throughout ...
